Raman gratings

Highest efficiency gratings. When efficiency matters

Ibsen Photonics manufactures Raman transmission gratings with the world’s highest polarization independent diffraction efficiencies and high grating dispersion, enabling high resolution in compact, cost effective spectrometer designs.

Ibsen’s Raman gratings are advanced, polarization-independent (PING) gratings fabricated using advanced lithographic or holographic stepper patterning combined with reactive ion etching in 100% dielectric materials. This technology provides unmatched thermal and environmental stability, with no polymers, epoxies, gelatins, or metals in the optical path – or anywhere in the grating structure.

The precision of our etching technology delivers industry-leading diffraction efficiency and ultra-low polarization-dependent loss (PDL) across an exceptionally broad bandwidth. Additionally, the gratings’ low angular sensitivity simplifies module design and facilitates seamless integration.

Key benefits

  • High efficiency and low PDL over a broad spectral bandwidth

  • Transmission gratings give great alignment tolerances

  • Low transmitted wavefront distortion

  • High tolerance to illumination angle of incidence

  • 2-grating designs are possible, offering compact design possibilities

  • Unmatched thermal and environmental stability, and lifetime
